Hi, our network is made up of 28 Class C segments. Can I then add all 28 segments to the home_net variable?

If so, is it appropriate to add them one after another seperated by a comma and letting it wrap around?

Are their any limitation to the amount of bytes that will be accepted by the variable?

Should I consider making Class B addresses in order to reduce the amount of variable data? There would be 3 Class B addresses. Are there Cons to doing this.

thanks

Give us an example of what you have, and it really doesn't matter if it's a A, B or C. HOME_NET was designed to be very flexable.

Hi,

Here is the entry in snort.conf

# Set up network addresses you are protecting. A simple start might be RFC1918
var HOME_NET [142.19.92.0/24,142.19.200.0/24,142.19.201.0/24,142.19.203.0/24,142.19.206.0/24,172.21.1.0/24,172.21.2.0/24,172.21.3.0/24,172.21.16.0/24,172.26.0.0/24,172.26.1.0/24,172.26.2.0/24,172.26.8.0/24,172.26.14.0/24,172.26.15.0/24,172.26.17.0/24,172.26.20.0/24,172.26.22.0/24,172.26.31.0/24,172.26.32.0/24,172.26.33.0/24,172.26.33.0/24,172.26.36.0/24,172.26.66.0/24,172.26.67.0/24,172.26.68.0/24,172.26.69.0/24,172.26.70.0/24,172.26.240.0/24]
